How to Use the Workbook
1. Read and listen to a mini-dialogue in English.

3. Translate the dialogue into your language.
4. Continue to the next mini-dialogue.
5. In the “Revision” section, translate the text into your language.
6. Continue to the next topic.
How to Memorize the Dialogues
Make your own audio recording of the dialogues using your phone or computer software. First, read your translation of a sentence in your language, then make a pause, and read the text in English. The pauses should be long enough for you to recall the translation.
Study the dialogues using your audio recordings. Every day, practice the dialogues that you have learned without looking at the text. Try to say the translation out loud during pauses without any errors. Play the audio as many times as necessary to ensure that you make no mistakes.
How to Improve Your Knowledge
Ask your family members to learn the dialogues together. Use the learned phrases and sentences to speak English at home to improve your speaking skills.
